- Abstract
Climate change is an important issue in sustainable development goals. The complexity of climate change requires an understanding of the underlying system as a basis for solutions to overcome it. The main focus of this research is to improve students’ systems thinking abilities in facing environmental challenges, namely climate change, by learning STEM project. The method used was pre-experiment with a one-group pretest-posttest design. The instrument used is a systems thinking test. The research involved 235 fourth grade students of state elementary schools in Bandung City who were selected purposively. The data obtained were analyzed quantitatively with paired sample t-test and n-gain. The research results show a significant increase in students’ systems thinking regarding climate change and their ability to apply systems thinking in finding innovative solutions. The practical implications of this research highlight the importance of STEM education in forming a generation that has a deep understanding and practical skills in facing future environmental challenges.
